Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treats disorders by changing patterns of behaviour and thought that may be unhelpful. It is now internationally established as a key method of helping overcome longstanding and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical. This unique self-help guide for those who have a long-term problem with their weight is based on the ground-breaking work in London's only NHS clinic for obesity. It is not a diet book or a healthy eating regime - instead this accessible guide will help you understand why you have gained weight and can't shift it, and why quick-fix diets are not the answer. It will tackle your mental approach as well as the physical problems. For the first time the two doctor authors have put in book form their clinically tested, comprehensive course, based on CBT techniques, that can help you to overcome your weight problems and improve the rest of your life.

Review:

"In conjunction with other weight-loss approaches [behaviour therapy] was more effective in reducing weight or delaying weight regain [than diet alone or drug therapy] either at the end of treatment or at the 1-year follow-up or both." US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute

From the Author:

This is a practical book on changing eating and physical activity for the long term. Many people are highly motivated to do something about their weight problem, but are sceptical of quick-fix diet solutions. This book may be part of the answer - along with a certain amount of personal effort! Changing long-term habits around food and exercise can be tough, but it is always possible - for example, many smokers try to give up repeatedly before they finally succeed. This book contains tried and tested behavioural techniques, covering topics such as motivation, self-awareness, dealing with strong emotions and dealing with other people - as well as the best current advice on diet and exercise. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a scientifically proven method for weight loss - specialist clinicians have always known about it, but in this book we try to make it available to the general public.
